As the chariot sped along the street, Fey frowned. She looked a little unhappy.
"Are we going back just like that?"
"What else? We've got what we need. Let's hurry back and hand it to Forgemaster Madoc, lest he gets a heart attack. Hmm, I know what you're thinking. It's a pity that we didn't get to kill a few hunters this time, but we found someone more interesting. "
"More interesting?"
"That's right …"
Recalling everything that happened just now, Fangzheng sneered. He was 100% sure that Second Lieutenant Lorenz Borg was definitely in cahoots with those hunters. The reason was simple. He heard the voice of the other party when he contacted the hunters. As for why the other party suddenly attacked the hunters, Fangzheng guessed that the other party must have sensed his presence.
That's interesting.
On this continent, only the strongest people who had stepped into the Truth Realm could instinctively sense his threat. In other words, the masked man was no less powerful than Cassius and the Lightsaber?
Who would have thought this would happen?
"Is that person in disguise?"
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Fey frowned, while Fangzheng shook his head.
"No, I checked his ID. It's real. That's why it's interesting."
"That's why …"
Hearing this, Fey finally understood.
"So that person is really from the Kingdom of Libel's army, and he's in cahoots with those hunters to steal the core components of Starlight Technology?"
"Interesting, right?"
If the Empire or the Republic sent someone to steal the core components, Fangzheng wouldn't find it so interesting. After all, it wouldn't be strange for the other party to do such a thing. But Starlight Technology and the Kingdom of Libel had just started working well together. To put it bluntly, they hadn't even handed over the first batch of products, and the Kingdom of Libel had actually tried to steal the core components …. Well, Fangzheng found this really interesting.
Fangzheng also knew that this was definitely not the Queen's idea. Although she was old, she wasn't stupid. In other words, this was an internal operation of the military? This was a little surprising, because the core components were mainly used to manufacture chips on the photonic machine. If it was some kind of new military weapon that had not yet been put into use, Fangzheng could understand why the army would be interested in it, but photonic machines …. Even if Fangzheng gave one to the army, would they know how to draw crystal chains and circuit diagrams?
But before that …
"Let's go find General Morgan and ask him what's going on with the intelligence department's special forces."
Not long after Fangzheng and the others left, the masked man returned. He stared at the corpses in front of him without saying a word.
"What do we do now? Second Lieutenant? "
At the same time, several fully armed soldiers walked out of the forest and came to the masked man's side.
"Activate the airship immediately and head to the base."
The masked man ordered coldly. Then, he turned around and looked at the forest. At this moment, Fangzheng and the others were nowhere to be seen. However, the doubts deep in his heart did not disappear because of this.
What the hell was going on just now?
The masked man knew very well that just now, when the hunters piloted the airship and were about to land, a feeling of fear and uneasiness suddenly emerged in the depths of his heart. It was also because of this that he didn't hesitate to kill the Hunters that he used. And the facts proved that the masked man's feeling was correct. After that, the president of Starlight Technology, Fangzheng, appeared and almost witnessed the scene of the deal between the masked man and the hunters.
But that wasn't all.
When the masked man was staring at him, he felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. It was as if a terrifying monster was opening its bloody mouth and could swallow him at any time. He had not felt this kind of fear for a long time.
But according to the information, the other party was just an ordinary scholar from China. He received an investment here, established Starlight Technology, and developed a series of modern conductive technology. Especially according to the current information, Starlight Technology was mainly obsessed with the development of entertainment conductive equipment.
However, such an ordinary-looking young man could actually make him feel nervous and afraid?
Where did he come from?
To be honest, at that time, the masked man really wanted to kill him with his sword. This place was deserted, and no one would discover him. After killing him, he could tie him to a rock and throw him into the lake, and everything would be fine. But for some reason, his body seemed to completely reject the masked man's will. Although his hand kept pressing on the hilt of his sword, he could not draw his sword as freely as when he faced the hunters.
Could it be that this man is also a powerhouse in the Realm of Truth?
No, it doesn't feel like it.
The masked man shook his head and dispelled the thought in his mind. A powerhouse in the Realm of Truth would not have such a strange aura. He did not feel the spiritual pressure from Fangzheng like he did from Cassius. Fangzheng was completely an ordinary person, standing there without any threat. He did not even have the slightest behavior that a martial artist would have.
Forget it. In short, I should solve the problem in front of me first.
At this thought, the masked man's eyes turned incomparably cold. Then, he turned around and boarded the airship that the hunters disguised as air pirates had driven. Shortly after, the airship flew into the sky and quickly disappeared into the blue sky.
After that, Fangzheng drove to the Haken Gate again and saw General Morgan, who had just returned from a trip.
"The problem is solved."
That was the first thing General Morgan said when he saw Fangzheng.
"We've successfully found the air pirates and rescued the hostages they imprisoned."
"Isn't that a good thing? But why don't you look too happy? "
Looking at General Morgan's gloomy face, Fangzheng asked curiously. General Morgan snorted coldly.
"Because the air pirates are all dead!"
"Dead?"
"Yes, when we arrived, there were only corpses left. I don't know who did it … But fortunately, the hostages are still alive. Otherwise, I really don't know how to explain it."
"Oh …."
Fangzheng snorted meaningfully. It seemed that the other party acted quickly. After all, only dead people would not leak secrets.
"Any clues?"
"No."
General Morgan shook his head helplessly.
"We asked the survivors. They said that they had been locked up here and had never left. They only heard gunshots and shouts coming from outside, and then there were no more sounds. They were also worried that something had gone wrong, but until the army of the intelligence department arrived, everything was normal.
"Intelligence department?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng looked at General Morgan with interest.
"By the way, General, when I was investigating, I met a man who claimed to be the captain of the special forces of the intelligence department. Can you tell me what's going on with this intelligence department?"
"Oh, it's actually not a big deal."
General Morgan didn't mind Fangzheng's question and gave an answer directly.
"The intelligence department was just established this year. Its main purpose is to collect intelligence in the kingdom and secretly protect the intelligence from being leaked …. The special forces are directly under the intelligence department. They have the same authority as the royal guards and act completely independently. Although they belong to the military in name, they don't actually belong to us."
Although General Morgan didn't say it explicitly, Fangzheng understood what he meant. The intelligence department was actually established to protect the information of the optical krypton machine from being leaked.
Huh?
So an organization that was supposed to protect its own national secrets was secretly trying to get its own national secrets?
That's really interesting.
With this in mind, Fangzheng smiled and stood up.
"Then, I won't disturb you anymore."
"Oh, right."
Seeing that Fangzheng was about to leave, General Morgan seemed to have thought of something.
"Do you know those kids?"
"You mean …."
"Those little guys who are playing guerrilla games."
"Yes, I know them. Is there a problem?"
"Oh, by the way, these guys are in prison waiting for interrogation."
"…. Erm, can I ask why?"
"It's simple."
General Morgan's beard curled up as he spoke.
"After that, we also investigated the missing ship, and then searched the suspicious location. In the end, when we arrived at the place, we only found the empty ship and the three suspicious people! I suspect that they were the ones who leaked the information, so the enemy took the initiative to destroy all unfavorable evidence. This time, I must interrogate them properly and see what kind of medicine these fellows have hidden in their gourds! "
"…. This is really …."
Fangzheng silently lit a candle for Estelle and Joshua in his heart. In other words, after that, not only did they not run away, but they were captured by the royal army as accomplices of the air pirates?
Now that all the air pirates were dead, there was no evidence. General Morgan couldn't interrogate the dead, so he probably had to find information from the living.
But even so, Fangzheng still had to remind General Morgan.
"General Morgan, I personally hope that you won't be too rough with Miss Estelle. After all, she is Cassius' daughter."
General Morgan's eyes widened as he stared at Fangzheng.
